I LOVE pastillas so much. The ingredients was perfectly combined. Can't stop myself from eating this. Parang mauubos ko ito lahat sa isang upuan lang. I need to restrain myself ayaw ko naman matulad kay Selena na hindi na makapagpigil sa pagkain ng chocolates at kinakalimutan ng magsipilyo.
As I look into her, she was silent at mukhang malalim ang kaniyang mga iniisip.
"Selena?", I called her once but she didn't response so I wave my palm infront of her face at tinawag ko siyang muli.
"SELENA!"
"STOMACH! leche ano ba yun?",walang kwentang tanong nito sa akin.
"Anong stomach? I keep calling you pero hindi ka sumasagot. Hindi ka naman bulag at bingi diba."
"Ang sakit ng STOMACH ko",natatawa niyang sabi sabay ngiti sa akin ng nakalabas lahat ng kaniyang ngipin.
"Sige, keep eating Chocolates kaya sumasakit yang tiyan mo eh."
"Stop scolding me, nasusuka na ako. Pero kaya ko pang pigilan to."
Iniabot ko sa kaniya ang brown bag na may plastic sa loob. Mabuti na rin ang sigurado, baka madungisan pa itong sasakyan ko.
Everything was so serene not until our body jolted because of the hump. I suddenly looked to Selena and as I was expected, she VOMIT.
WALA na siyang paki-alam sa paligid niya, she kept vomiting. Iniwas ko na rin ang tingin ko sa kaniya dahil baka masuka rin ako. You know THE LAW OF ATTRACTION. I gave her some wipes and tissues with my left hand whilst my face looking outside of my open window. I took a deep breath and closed my both eyes, ignore Selena for a while. I will take care of her kapag tapos na siya sa pagsuka. The sound of nature outweighing Selena's vomit sounds.
I consider that she's done. I can't hear some 'ahhhh!' 'ahhhhh!' deep sounds, the only thing I can hear was the brown bag which is being crumpled.
"You can lean on my shoulder, didn't you brought some neck pillow?"
"I- I didn't", Selena weakly said whilst putting some liquid mints on her nose.
"Okay lang po ba tayo Sir?",tanong ng driver habang saglit na tumingin sa amin. Inihinto niya na rin ang kaniyang pagmamaneho.
" Ano Selena hihinto ba muna tayo?", I asked her seriously with comfort.
"No,no, just go on kuyang driver. Itutulog ko na lang po 'ito." Sagot niya sa aming dalawa.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes",mahina nitong banggit at ipinikit ang kaniyang mga mata.
She's insisting kaya naman hindi na rin ako nagpumilit.
"Sige po kuya. Tuloy na po tayo." Magalang kong utos sa kaniya.
Hinilot ko ang kaniyang uluhan havang nakasandal ito sa akin. I finger comb her hair para marelax na rin siya.
"Kuya."
"Ano po yun Sir?"
"Matutulog na rin po ako, is it okay lang po ba?"
"Opo naman Sir. May kalapitan na rin tayo. Gisingin ko na lang po kayo kapag nakapasok na tayo sa La Mabista."
I agreed and sleep. Hawak ko ang ulo ni Selena. Wala rin kasi akong dalang neck pillow na maipapagamit sa kaniya, kaya magtitiis na lamang muna kami.
Hindi na ako makapaghintay na makarating sa La Mabista. Gaya nga ng sabi ko, I'll enjoy every seconds, minutes, hours and day, dahil alam kong mababagot na naman ako sa bahay pag-uwi namin. I don't want to talk about boredoms anymore, I just wanna enioy the moment.
They say, when you fall asleep your physically resting but mentally working. I've never dream about someone, some girls. I don't know. All I dreamed before and still was, I'm sauntering in the beach exactly in the seashore holding an anonymous hand. It's a girl with long hair wearing white dress but I can't see her face because its too bright. If it's not about it, my dream was always about a throng of people wearing a black clothes and also their faces wasn't revealed. It's like a sign or a warning and I kept ignoring it.
I ABRUPTLY wake up because my left thighs was numb. Kinuskos ko ang aking parehong mata ng aking parehong kamay. Sa pagmukat ko ng aking mga mata ay nagulat akong nakapatong na sa aking hita ang ulo ni Selena. She's yet sleeping. More than that, her lips has a chocolate dirt and its hilarious making her so hideous. Just kidding. Kumuha ako ng piraso ng wipes at pinunasan ko ito ng dahan-dahan. I don't want her to wake up but I badly need to clean it. May namuong lungkot sa aking puso habang nakatitig ako sa kaniya. Bata lamang siya ay wala na siyang ama, I slightly feel her. Bata pa lang din ako nasa trabaho na lagi si Dad ganon din si Mom. Para na nga akong ulila but I fully understand them, para sa akin din naman ang ginagawa nila.
I think kissing Selena's forehead was normal to Best friends. Oo, hinalikan ko ang kaniyang noo tanda ng pagmamahal ko sa kaniya at pagdamay.
